The Effects of Mental Exhaustion.
Many diseases, especially those
Of the nervous system, are the
products Of daily renewed mental
exhaustion. Business avocations
often involve an amount Of mental
wear and tear very predjudicial to
physical health, and the profess
sions, if arduouSly pursued, are no
less destructive to brain and nerve
tissue. 1t is one Of the most i'm
portant attributes of Hostetter's
Stomach Bitters, that it compen-
safes for this undue loss of tissue,
and that it imparts new energy to
the brain and nerves. The rapid
ity with which it renews weakened
mental energy and physical vitality
is remarkable, and shows that its
invigorating properties are of the
highest order. Besides increasing
vital stamina, and counteracting
the effects Of mental exhaustion,
this potential medicine cures and
prevents fever and ague, rheuma-
tism, chronic dyspepsia and con-
stipation, kidney and uterine
weakness and other complaints
Physicians also commend it as a
medicated stimulant and remedy.
